Summary
About the place: Bělotín is a municipality in the Přerov District of the Olomouc Region, situated in the Moravian Gate depression. It lies at a historically significant transit corridor connecting Moravia and Silesia.
Flag Description: The flag consists of three horizontal stripes of green, white, and green in a width ratio of 1:2:1, surmounted by an overall centered red cross whose arms have a width equal to one-third of the white stripe's width (one-sixth of the flag's total hoist). The width-to-length ratio is 2:3.
Symbolism: The symbolism of the flag is derived directly from the municipal coat of arms. The red cross on a white field (Saint George's Cross) represents Saint George, patron saint of the local parish church, and his triumph over the dragon. The green stripes symbolize the agricultural heritage, the rural landscape of the Moravian Gate, and the field tincture of the coat of arms.
